Days 23-24 - something new

Sunday's class was crowded, as always. Someone was in my usual spot when I arrived, so I decided to suck it up and take a spot in the front row. I found it to be easier to focus on each posture since there was no one between me and the mirror. However, I like the extra space in my usual spot :) There were a lot of new people in class, possibly from this article that ran in the paper (yes, that's my quote in there). As for postures, I felt like everything I'd said about triangle went out the window - not great on Sunday.

Monday's class was after a night of little sleep (except for right before class, because I always seem to get my best sleep when it's time to wake up). Morning classes aren't as crowded (though there are usually 20 or so people there). Class was good overall - triangle improved, balancing stick is getting better.

Today was great for other reasons, though. I left after class to go to Richmond for business, and I got a massage when I got to town. The masseuse could tell I was practicing and asked if I was having issues with my left shoulder and my glutes - if you'll remember, my left side standing bow is doing terribly due to pain, and I can't get my legs locked in standing head to knee. She worked on my shoulder (said it was like concrete - SO painful) and on my glutes a bit, and said to schedule 90 minutes next time to spend more time on those areas. We'll see tomorrow night if it helped. For now, I'm going to do some reading for school and drink a nice glass of wine :)
